The experiment was conducted during November 2012 to March 2013 in experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to find out the consequence of irrigation levels on growth, yield attributes and yield of wheat (BARI Gom-26). Four different irrigation levels viz. I 0 : No irrigation i.e. control; I 1 : Irrigation at 20 days after sowing (DAS) at crown root initiation stage; I 2 : Irrigation at 55 DAS at flowering stage) and I 3 : Irrigation at 75 DAS at grain filling stage were used in the experiment using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Results revealed that maximum dry matter content (18.8 g/plant), crop growth rate (CGR) (13.5 g m-2 day-1), relative growth rate (RGR) (0.024 g m-2 day-1) were found from I 1 which was statistically identical with I 2 whereas minimum from I 0. Plant height (80.7 cm), number of tiller (4.9/hill), number of spike (4.7/hill), number of spikelets (18.5/spike), spike length (19.2 cm), filled grains (29.3/spike), total grains (31.3/spike), 1000grains weight (44.4 g), yield (grain 3.4 t/ha, straw 5.7 t/ha and biological 9.1 t/ha) and harvest index were correspondingly showed higher results as of growth characters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
